Baby Sea Turtles

Today John, Jack and I flew to Mexico to meet up with John's brother and my sister-in-law. We are staying in this really cool resort two hours away from Cancun. Right outside our resort there seemed to be an issue with the government and it appeared that there was a riot or something. We were not even sure if we were going to be able to get into the resort since they blocked it off. Fortunately they moved the road blocks and let us in.

Once we got settled into the house we are staying in on the beach we went down to the beach to check out the sea turtle nests. While we were out there we noticed that they were hatching so we helped them go to the sea. They got a little confused since they were attracted to the lights on the house. It was a very cool experience since they are endangered. There are a few more nests out there so I guess we will keep an eye on them tomorrow. We are worried that someone might steal the turtles or the eggs.
